$1400 a month is less than a rounding error for a company that size. If you can get even the tiniest bit of extra developer productivity from the software then it is worth it.

And Github will definitely still have to "pay" for Teams, whether that is internal accounting or actual money being exchanged.
Damn, that thing blows the Pyra out of the water and at roughly half of the price.
We need to see when a someone on one side disagrees with their own side. Echo chambers drown the voice of dissenters.

I tried to do something similar with a fully client-side static site generator called CMS.js (https://github.com/chrisdiana/cms.js) a few years back. Would have liked to get to the point where the content editor was fully client-side too. I personally like the concept though.

Unsure why any law gets passed with max $500 fines and 6 months jail if they’re not going to throw jail time at the most egregious cases.
I don't think that's quite right - it's more that they're a lab and not a product manufacturer, so they can't decide to go mass-market.

Even if they decided that they want to go public with a virtual keyboard/mouse/controller and virtual heads-up display that you use by wearing an electrode net, the current team would not be able to make that pivot. End users won't be debugging Labview sketches, spending weeks training a neural network to recognize virtual keystrokes, or shaving spots on their scalp.

Personally, I expect that the V1 product here is approximately just that: a game controller. A few buttons, a pointer, maybe a little haptic feedback. It would be great for me if it supported text input and output faster than a keyboard and terminal, but I don't think that's likely to happen in an early version.

Even less likely is that we're going to jump straight to The Matrix. Valve needs to admit that, and be happy with a limited version, instead of letting it fizzle out in the lab.
I'm sorry, I would like to help but I can't figure out where you're getting tripped up since (to me) the various interpretations don't seem to differ much in meaning beyond the linguistic/semantic fuzziness that is common in informal communication.

Isn't it just to double-plus-ensure that no one "accidentally" uses a name that ActivisionBlizzard did not license from the appropriate gun manufacturer?

I think the problem is showing the "magic link" anywhere other than in the email for the intended recipient, since it's effectively a password.

> I think there's lots of consumers that find the tradeoff okay

How often do consumers even get asked? My webmail provider seems to have no issues providing both paid and ad supported. Other services just pulled the paid plan from under my feet. Whats App with its new terms and conditions once had a small yearly fee, Facebook dropped it. User choice? certainly not mine.

That is like trying to identify a suspect using a smiley face. If they track you it isn't anonymous.

Why do we need targeted ads? Websites usually have topics they are focused on, is it wrong to show car ads on a page for car enthusiasts? On a news story showing a newly released car?
I didn't say that these specific claims are simply false. Just that they sure seem to hint at extraordinary improvements in a broad range of cases. The website itself also seems to me to be suggestive in just the same way, only much more so.

I myself don't think that that amounts to taking pains to qualify their claims. Other people will have to make their own minds up about whether or not that's the case.

My Samsung TV has built in ads, which I HATE. I want a dumb TV. Apps built into TVs generally suck because to keep the BOM cost down they put in the cheapest SoC that will function, leaving the apps sluggish, jerky, and frequently cut down in features. On my previous LG TV I couldn't turn off motion smoothing on the bui8lt in video streaming apps. With the Samsung TV I just don't connect it to the network because there are ads that you cannot disable.

To be honest with you, you can't really blame React in this situation - it is nonetheless immensely frustrating to be sure.

> Redux is quickly going out of fashion

Yes, when I say it's "king" I only mean in terms of popularity within the community. I personally never understood the point of Redux and have always greatly preferred MobX for exactly what you say - it is far too verbose.

I also don't really have a good read on how the future of these projects will go - I would have thought MobX would've won out long ago. Maybe now with MobX 6 moving away from decorators it can gain the steam it deserves. I think the key blocker has been / is that MobX is building a runtime graph, and people don't understand graphs (let alone dependency graphs) very well, so it feels like magic. It's really easy to use though.

With features like Suspense, I feel like React will continue to push for more concise ways to write your components, but I also wonder if even the one level of misdirection that Suspense shows will be enough to limit its adoption. So far, explicit and non-magic seems to be a strange community preference

A Review of the Semantic Web Field
Depends on what you mean by get the job done. (Rather which job)

If you are doing research into designing advanced transistors with new geometry or new materials (which is what I did my graduate research in), you would be using something like DFT (Density functional theory) for equilibrium analysis and NEGF, Huckel theory etc. for simulating current. These methods only realistically work on ~500-1000 atom systems, beyond which the simulation takes too long to run even on supercomputers (which is what i was using). I think GPUs here would be very useful, but there weren't any tools at the time that were seriously optimized for GPU. The codes I was using were SIESTA/TransSIESTA, Atomistix, QuantumEspresso and others.

For simulating multiple transistors, or transistors with a large geometry (for example 14nm gate length), you would use TCAD simulators that use FEM + measured parameters to simulate the transistors. The equations behind these are traditional semiconductor equations with a bunch of heuristics and curve fitting. The main tool I used was Sentaurus TCAD.

For simulating larger circuits, say a low-noise amplifier or maybe a small DAC, you would use tools like Cadence Virtuoso + the provided PDK from your foundry. The equations here are simpler than the ones used in Sentaurus and they are also calibrated to measurement.

I have been following the Pandora situation with the UK at the time, it the mess was directly linked to the second guy who supported the project and bailed out with the pre-order money (allegedly). EvilDragon, who is now leading the Pyra development efforts, has always been very transparent about what's happening since day 1 on the development of the Pyra: explaining in details all technical issues found, and how long their suppliers would take to react with a new version of the board, the mold, or other parts.

Hardware development takes time and they have very few people working on that project, and most of that work is part time. So any issue resolution takes 10x longer than what you would expect in a typical project as well.
No naming scheme will be perfect. What you really need is a top–level document that describes what is inside each directory, and how they relate to each other. In prose, with paragraphs, headings, links, and a table of contents. Use something like asciidoctor, markdown, or org-mode so that you have something that is readable in the terminal and can also be exported to HTML.

You've moved the goalposts from where you originally said EV's are "very expensive". "Very expensive" cannot mean less than the average price for a new car. You can argue more expensive than comparable quality or something but "very expensive" is wrong. As for used cars, I don't think there's enough data yet but I recall seeing an article where Teslas depreciated less than comparable ICE vehicles.

On the developing world front, in the last few months of the year the best selling EV in China cost $4,200.

> Plus personally I've rarely convinced anyone to buy anything with TCO calculations. Maybe you've had more luck :-)

The fuel costs ways less per mile, what don't you believe about that?

> I think EVs are still a few years ago from real mass adoption. 2025 sounds a bit more realistic.

This is what the projections I've read say as well, and battery prices will continue to decline, though not as steeply. That will be when the steepening of the adoption S curve happens.

Everyday Decision Making
That's implicitly assuming that you can't do cryptographic voting protocols with paper ballots. That is false. You can in fact make a cryptographic voting system where:

1. Voters vote by marking ovals with a marker pen on paper ballots.

3. The paper ballots can be counted by the optical scan machines that are already widely used in many places.

4. The paper ballots can be hand counted.

5. All the ballots can be published, allowing anyone to independently verify the counts.

6. An individual voter if they choose to can make a note of short alphanumeric code that is revealed when they vote for a candidate, and using that note later can verify that their vote was included in the total and went to the correct candidate.

7. An individual voter cannot prove to a third party that they voted for a particular candidate.

Here is a paper on such a system: https://eprint.iacr.org/2010/502.pdf

Wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scantegrity

Here is a paper showing how it satisfies item #7: https://eprint.iacr.org/2010/502

Almost all of the cryptographic mojo takes place when the ballots are printed, so no modifications are required to the scanners. You do have to use a special marker to mark the ballots.

Doing the cryptographic verification of all the votes would almost certainly be done by software, but as all the ballots are published and the system is completely open and documented, independent parties can easily do their own counts. The software is also fairly simple.

When meritocracy was being pushed as a social goal in the 1960s, it related more to the question of who end up in positions of power, positions where they could make decisions that would affect society.

It was not necessarily about who was going to get rich. It was about no longer picking decision makers from the children of the existing decision makers.

It ran into two problems. The first was that we didn't really think through how we were going to establish merit in the first place. What's happened there is that we've adopted a bunch of stupid shorthand ("they graduated Harvard") that essentially is undifferentiated from what we were doing before we tried to build a meritocracy. We never found (maybe never tried to find) any way of establishing that a kid with a degree from a public university in Kansas was actually going to be better at national infrastructure planning than the one from Harvard (or not, for that matter).

The second problem is that the people who benefited from the meritocratic goal (I am one of them) have worked quite hard to pull up the ladders behind them (us). We've erected all sorts of barriers (but mostly cost) to ensure that only our descendants and direct beneficiaries get access to the social institutions that are now used to define "merit".
Be amazed: The orbit station is a "giant space wheel", whose central mass is in orbit, but has rotating pods synchronized with earths rotation, some 100 km below. There are some issues with centrifugal forces (which Neal also describes), but otherwise all the wingwoman has to do is to reach the altitude and speed of this pod. The energy needed to move this person from the pod to the central station comes from the sol and is quite miniscule.

1. Graphs as the fundamental way of navigating notes. Your view is exclusively of the node you are concerned with. You should be able to see a node's content, parents, children and top ranked undirected connections. I don't want graphs to be a 'see we also have this' feature. I want it to be highly opinionated notes app that forces you to represent everything as a graph.

2. Ability to form strong and weak connections. Ability to extract strongly connected sub-graphs as mostly self-contained 'concepts'.

3.(specific to me, but fundamentally important to this 'ideal' app) 1st party support for inking, OCR and structure extraction. Inking is what brings all of this together. Drawing graphs with a pen is trivial. OCR, structure extraction and graph reconstruction are all solvable problems in the current Vision space.

User flow: (I expect this to be a 2-in-1 device or tablet)

* Draw a node or an orphaned sub-graph. Title and content for each node. connections (optionally directed) between nodes. Node content can be text, images, video, diagrams, etc.

* Run Ocr, structure extraction -> and get it into text,edge-list format (user can fix any corrupt conversion)

* Run NLP similarity and suggest the most likely parent node (concept header) and suggest some weak connections. Alternatively user can define these themselves.

* Sub-graph/Node gets added to notes

* Share notes by sharing any parent node. All Children and strong connections are shared instantly. Everything else stays public. Shared notes cannot delete existing nodes, but can add new nodes and parent->child connections.

* Nodes can also be tagged with information depth. (low, medium, detailed). That way, you can choose what level of detail to expose to a reader of said notes.

The big mistake is to try to make a notes app that accommodates graphs.

I am thinking of a graph app that made to accomodate nodes. Sounds similar, HUGE difference in practice.
